Meant to be

I miss you

Arizona's POV
It's been a week and Callie's nightmares haven't stopped.
"Maybe we should give it a night, sleep in separate beds. I can't keep giving you bad nights of sleep.." Callie says as we leave the house.
"Yeah.. Maybe.." I say locking the door.
"Should we try tonight?" Callie says..
"Yes. Why not?" I walk to my car.
"Where are you going?" Callie asks.
"I'm going to work in my car!" I say looking back at her.
"We always ride together!" Callie says.
"I know but one of us is not coming home tonight so we should take separate cars.." I say..
"Arizona I didn't mean it like that! It's just for a night and I can sleep on your couch!" Callie says.
"No you need to sleep on the bed. We'll figure this out later!" I say and walk to my car.

I don't see Callie all morning and at lunch time I'm eating with Amelia.
"Maybe I can help her with her nightmares! I can try some exercises with her.." Amelia says taking a bite of her apple.
"I don't know.. Maybe.." I say finishing mine.
I see Callie coming over and I get up.
"Arizona.." She says looking at me as I pass thro her.

Callie's POV
Arizona doesn't even look back.
"Don't push it!" Amelia says. I sit down where Arizona was sitting. I feel her perfume that she left in the air and I get a chill. Gosh I miss her.
"How do you feel about some exercises?" Amelia asks.
"Exercises?" I ask.
"For your nightmares. We can try some.." Amelia tells me.
"How so?" I ask her.
"As you have the same nightmare over and over again we can try and program your brain to whenever that nightmare begins the brain makes it disappear by giving the dream another ending." Amelia says finishing her apple.
"How do you do that?" I ask.
"I'll show you latter! Are you free at 7 pm?" She asks me.
"I have a surgery at 6 but it should be quick!" I say!
"Ok so I'll meet you at 7!" She tells me and gets up.
"Wait Amelia!" I say grabbing her arm.
"How much time is it going to take for me to stop having this nightmare for good?" I ask her.
"I have never tried it but in the other patients that I read about it can take from a week to months, it depends on how deeply the person is involved in the nightmare." Amelia tells me.
"Ok thanks! See you at 7!" I say. She nods and walks away.
I can't spend a week without sleeping next to Arizona less along months.
Two days ago she was holding me in her arms and I had a hand around her arm and in my sleep I got so pissed that I hurt her. She got a really big bruise on her arm. She told me it was nothing and that it was fine but I know it still hurts. I can't risk hurting her in her sleep anymore! I try not to fall asleep and just to lay there looking at her but I always end up falling asleep. I miss her so much already but I can't risk hurting her..
It's 4 in the afternoon and I can't do it anymore. I text Arizona.
C: "I'm sorry babe.. I can't spend another minute without seeing you"
A: "I know.."
C: "Where are you?"
A: "You can't come see me because I won't be able to keep you away!"
C: "Arizona please.."
A: "I'm sorry Callie.."
C: "Arizona.."
She doesn't text me back! I get into the nearest closet. I sit down and breakdown crying.

Arizona's POV
We can't keep doing this. Callie doesn't sleep afraid she might hurt me. I don't sleep afraid I won't be able to wake her in time and she'll have to see the end of her nightmare. Amelia said she'll try and help Callie but I can't be away from her for much time. I need her close to me. I need her arms around me. I need to kiss her and to love her. I try to distract myself with work but I always end up walking to an empty hall to cry.
